Apple Seeds First Beta of iOS 10.2.1 to Developers

Took me a while to find a track I didn't mind posting!

Hmm...doesn't look like anything to me.

The Pixel and the iPhone 7 have different feeling scrollling, in that the inertia and speed feels different. However, the smoothness is like night and day; my iPhone sticks and stutters as I scroll quickly through photos for example, while my Pixel is completely smooth.

Interesting, do you have optimise iPhone storage on, or download & keep originals. Or a huge amount of photos?

I use optimised storage and scrolling through over 6000 photos and videos without a hint of stutter all the way through.

There are significant bluetooth bugs for the AT&T model 7/7+, with lots of issues with dropped/garbled audio especially in vehicles. I'm hoping this fixes it!

I stream music and take calls over BT in my car on my AT&T 7+ and have yet to experience any of those issues.

you don't mind sharing a post from a band with a pedophile as the main singer :|

I had the iPhone 7 European version, it has the Intel Radios and I observed problems with bluetooth audio playback when the network changes from LTE to 3G and again from 3G to LTE. Every network switch from one mode to the other causes playback hiccup. I did, at least I think that I did notice this on the 6s also. It might be an iOS 10 issue, not the chipset....

Oh buddy you could not have picked a worse group to post. Go ahead and wiki the lead singer. I'm hoping you haven't already.

Then you're lucky. Lots of people with issues on these forums, reddit, and on various car forums.

Yep, me too.... Havent noticed it with the 10.2.1 dev build yet....

 

[Bboble]

Exactly how I feel. I'm really not one of those 'if Steve Jobs were alive...' people but....who is looking at iOS with its stutters and frame drops and going 'Yep - looks fine. ship it'?

I wish an entire point release could be devoted to making iOS smooth again. Hmm...that sounds like a slogan that could be used at WWDC 2017.

A good slogan, yes. But, Apple will never admit to such wrong-doing.

People complain about battery life—Apple removes the time remaining indicator...

The discussions in the threads are what often surface the changes. If there's something noteworthy often enough it gets back to the actual article that gets updated with it (or perhaps a new articles about the changes is posted sometimes as well). The articles of this nature are first/primarily to notify that there has been a release and provide a place to discuss it.

Nah, what a cop-out. There are plenty of changes, just go on YouTube and watch a few videos. MacRumors editors are just lazy as hell.

I pointed you to the source, and that's YouTube.com. If you're too lazy to type in a couple keywords and inform yourself, you've got bigger issues buddy.

So basically there aren't any particular changes, let alone plenty of changes, that you can even mention as examples. Got it.

Anyone else having issues with the keyboard showing in Maps?

No issues at all. What are you seeing as far as this specific issue?

Anyone else love the dropped frames and hiccups on their 7 Plus!?-Fastest smartphone on the planet.

I'm not seeing dropped frames or hiccups on my 7 Plus, but I am not a power user and don't overly focus on these things so it's probably me.

Fair enough. I notice every little detail when it comes to UI performance. Very disappointing to me, I have been using iPhones since iOS 3 and iOS 6.1.2 on the iPhone 5 was the smoothest phone I have ever used.

I have a 6s but the 7+ seems to be the be the favorite phone in my circle so I've had plenty of play time with it and it's very smooth opening apps, safari, mail the common things.

Same issue on current 10.2 build and iPhone 7 plus hopefully 10.2.1 fixes it!

Beta 1 hasn't for me at any rate. This morning alone with only 1hr 4min usage, 1hr 22min standby on my 6 I've dropped from 100% to 66% already. And I have all the power-saving settings enabled (reduce motion, no push emails, background refresh off...)
